kid soup



baring my sole(s)
the closet:
the innards:
oh...and here's the other side (picture cheesy sliding mirrored doors)
this is the current state of my closet floor. and do you know what? sometimes i straighten it up and at others....i just leave it. because, really i don't care that much.
i know, this is a bit like seeing someone you hardly know in their underpants. it's unnerving.
in the next few weeks, i'm going to be giving you an inside look of closets belonging to bloggers and friends. because no matter how you spin your art directed life, there's always a loose cog in the wheel.

eco friendly flatware

light emitting wallpaper




"The wallpaper's patterns consist of embedded lights, and the transition effects are achieved through controlling individual pixels (LEDs). One can turn off the lighting, making the wallpaper a standard wall ornament, or have it turned on and enjoy the transition of multiple patterns"

ebay ~ find, loss and win
last week, i hopped over to ebay as i am want to do from time to time.
....and forgot to BID!!! i slimply forgot to click on that final, 'confirm bid' link. i got distracted or something. $20.00 + shipping. seriously? $20.00 dollars for the pair? and i forgot to place my bid? i could cry.
FOUND:

LOST:at last, a taste of victory.....pair of vintage, blanc de chine pagoda lamps. i sort of knew when i put my highest bid at $157.97 ...that i might not be the proud owners of these tony duquette-esque beauties. i just flat out lost. they ended up going for a bit over $300.00 dollars.
WON:i finally 'won' a pair of boots that i've been coveting since seeing them on a hip little shop girl up in hollywood. vintage etienne aigner 'riding' boots. lil' bit excited 'bout this ebay nugget.

walnut wallpaper

the day's not too shabby when you get to spend some time perusing the myriad wallpapers at walnut wallpaper.


i'm nuts for wallpaper and would swathe my walls in a new paper every month if i could.



hipster lines neisha crosland and flavor are staples but they're also great at keeping it fresh by bringing in newer lines such as sum design, palace papers and my new favorite, jocelyn warner.......

oh, and don't stop at your walls, carry the party onto your windows or upholstered pieces. walnut carries a great selection of fabrics too.





as these unwitting shoppers will attest, when in l.a. make a point to stop in. the beauty of walnut is that for all of you who can't slide under the velvet rope of 'to the trade', walnut is 'to the public' score 1 for the civilians!
(ever the eavesdropper, this is what the woman on the left was saying when i snuck this shot: "you know, it's totally stupid to just assume, based on the way they dress? that someone doesn't have the money to do their home. i mean, it's L.A.....people spend a lot of money to look homeless" )

doll house chair to room
last summer, my children unearthed a box of my old doll house furniture. all of it has quickly found a home in the calico critter community residing in their rooms. the other morning, i stepped on something sharp and found this little chair embedded into my heel. my head immediately went to work creating a room around it.
object: vintage doll house chair.
1. turquoise art deco saluki statuette
2. doll house furniture
3. italian table lamp
4. faux leopard game table
5. pagoda lantern
6. greek key table

my oldest and dearest: featured on sfgirlbybay
if you haven't made the daily stop to sfgirlbybay, please do so right now. my oldest and dearest friend (who's more like family) analisa payne is featured as the 'unexpected guest' today.
analisa and i have known each other for *gulp* 32 years. with each and every place she's lived, her design sense has always inspired. (i usually spend the first 10 minutes in her home, examining everything that she's done) she's a master at vignettes, color and clean simplicity with a charming twist. analisa's just purchased her first house and i think it may be her best work yet.....
